Breaking in new motorcycle tyres

Your motorcycle or scooter tyres have reached a point where they need to be replaced. Once you’ve fitted your brand new tyres, all you have to do is get on the road. But not just any old way! Your new tyres need a break-in period without which the risk of a fall is possible. How to break in new motorcycle tyres? Read our tips to get you through this phase without any problems.

Why do new tyres need to be broken in?
The manufacture of tyres involves the use of moulds that give them the exact shape defined at the time of their design. When it comes to demoulding, it is necessary to use products that allow the tyre to be removed. As these products tend to leave a thin film of a shiny appearance on the tyre, it is important to take some precautions when riding until this film has completely gone.

What can happen if this break-in phase is not taken into account?
Some people have had this happen to them: after getting on their motorcycles with brand new tyres from the dealer, they quickly picked up speed, turned at too wide an angle and ended up in a horizontal position on the road…

Regardless of the brand of tyres you buy, care should be taken when they are new so that you can use them to their full potential once the break-in period is over.

What you should not do?
We will explain in a moment how to proceed to a smooth break-in. But let’s start with an important recommendation: do not use abrasive products to rub the surface of the tyre in the hope of removing the film more quickly. Doing so could cause irreversible damage to your tyre. There is only one way to successfully break in a tyre and that’s what we explain below.

beroepschrift op afwijzing kwijtschelding

Beste mensen van de RBG,

dit is mijn beroepschrift op Aanslagnummer : xxxxxxxx
Klantnummer : xxxxxx
Contactnummer : xxx xxx xxx

Op 14 Maart 2025 heb ik kwijtschelding aangevraagd, en heb hierbij de factuur van aanschaf van mijn huidige motorfiets toegevoegd.
De waarde van deze motorfiets is € 3.250,00

Nu stelt de Beschikking kwijtschelding “Ik heb uw kwijtscheldingsverzoek afgewezen.” met als reden:
“U bezit een auto of motor met een waarde van meer dan € 3.350,00.”

Ik heb meteen gebeld en de dame aan de lijn meldde, “omdat het merk een BMW is valt ie gelijk af”.

Dit kan uiteraard niet zo zijn. De motor is 20+ jaar oud, heeft 160.000km op de klok, is weliswaar in rijdende staat, maar zeker niet meer waard dan die 3250, anders had de handelaar er wel ook meer voor gevraagd (en stond de motor zeker al 6 maanden te koop).

De ABS moet vervangen worden, de banden zijn op, de vering moet gereviseerd worden en zo nog enkele zaken. Mede hierom ook staat er op de factuur: “Zo meenemen zonder een enkele vorm van garantie.”

Ik vind het ronduit bizar dat er niet naar de bijgevoegde factuur is gekeken, terwijl dat precies het enige geldige bewijsmateriaal van de waarde is. Ik verzoek jullie dan ook dit
a. alsnog te doen, en
b. jullie eigen regels toe te passen in de beoordeling, en niet met ongeschreven regels, zoals ‘door het merk valt ie af’.

Bijgevoegd, opnieuw de factuur.

MoonBlog 9.6 gratitude & 5.1 perseverance

For many Moons now, I was looking to upgrade my guitar, having had 16 guitars (and one Bass guitar) in my life so far I was looking for something different.

I knew I wanted a certain shape that felt good to my own body holding it, but should also be of high quality and perhaps a looker too.

And this time, no matter the price… kinda…

Easily said, not so easy to find, and I have had my fair share of shitty guitars, mostly because of budget issues, and also because it takes a while for me to find out if I do like something, or if it simply does not work out. So after a few moons processing I end up buying a guitar, and then a few moons later it needs to go again.

Reading my MoonBlogs one can see I have an affection for PRS (Paul Reed Smith) guitars, most say because he makes guitars that sit somewhere in between Fender (Stratocaster) and Gibson (Les Paul), and while that may be true, what speaks to me, is his openness to share about his products, his own nerdiness in going all in in finding that tone through all the little components that make up a musical instrument, his factory, and so on.

Sure some of it is marketing, some of it is ego showiness, a little american sauce over it, but it’s good, I like it. I’ve learned a lot more about guitars and guitar making through investigating about their company and products, something that is much much harder to find out about with most other guitar making companies.

So I had a vague kind of wishlist of components, or elements that my next guitar should contain, where quality was probably the most important.

Caberg Tourmax

Tourmax is the first flip up adventure on the market conceived for all the eunduro and maxi enduro motorcycles owners.

As result of the long experience gained by Caberg, the first Italian company to produce flip up helmets, the new TOURMAX 100% Made in Italy is equipped with a peak that automatically moves close to the visor when opening the chin guard in order to minimize air resistance.

Tourmax comes with the dual homologation P/J which allows you to ride with the chin guard opened guarantying safety thanks to the lever P/J on the left hand side of the helmet. This lever, when in the “J” position, blocks the chin guard in the fully opened position avoiding the chin guard to accidentally close.

Tourmax is equipped with the exclusive Double Visor Tech system that, thanks to the easy to use inner sunvisor, allows you to ride always with the right light and in safety. The inner sun visor is treated antiscratch, while the outer clear visor is not only antiscratch but also antifog thanks to the double lens Pinlock. Ventilation is guaranteed by two wide vents placed on the chin guard and on the shell that are easy to maneuver also with gloves. The air is channelled through grooves on the inner liner that ensure perfect ventilation of the helmet. The lining is completely removable and washable, realized with breathable and hypoallergenic fabric for maximum freshness, with reflective inserts at the back of the neck.

Tourmax is offered in the single colors: matt black, matt gun metal, and white metal; and in sport graphic versions SONIC with base color matt black and white.

Tourmax has a seating to accommodate the Caberg Bluetooth communication system “JUST SPEAK S” which allows to communicate not only with your own mobile phone and your passenger but also to connect to a GPS system, listen to music through your mobile or an MP3 player. Just Speak S is equipped with Bluetooth A2DP that permits to listen in high quality stereo.
